Creator's Key Takeaways

we just went on a cruise that stopped at the Dominican Republic Berto Plata to be specific

I was actually pleasantly surprised by how nice of a port area it is

we waited over an hour and a half and we never even made it to the front of the line

these were the richest smoothest most flavorful hot ch chocolate I've ever had in my life

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get off the ship early to secure a day bed or pool chair at the port area.
Take a taxi to the cable car (teerico) and go early to avoid long waits.
Explore the city on foot; it's safe and easy to navigate with Google Maps.
